The last band we had on (Trademark Krew) was not nearly as much work for setup and taping. I'm not sure why. I think it was worth it, though. It sounded really good in the booth, although I'll have to check the tape to be sure. Park Lane is very much a style of music I like, although hard to define (orchestral metal? goth metal? kind of like Evanescence.)
The studio crew nearly went deaf, though. :^( Keith stuffed tissue in his ears. We also managed to put Andrew to work during the musical segments, so we could have better control of the audio. ;^D

Andrew interviews Carol Gillespie of the Asian American Donor Program, Stacie Tamaki of Helping Tami, and James Nguyen of Team Matthew. They discuss the use of donated stem cells from bone marrow to treat leukemia, myelodysplasia, and other blood cancers. Donor/patient compatibility depends heavily on ethnicity. Unfortunately, ethnic minorities are underrepresented in the donor registry.

On the second day of set up, those who finished early were encouraged to take time to talk to other makers. I didn't see as many booths set up as I expected, so my guess is that a lot of people weren't able to take off from their day jobs as early as they would have liked.
Nonetheless, when the time rolled around for the beer garden, a long line developed quickly. Normally I'm all for free booze, but I just didn't feel like it today. Devil's Canyon Brewery does make some tasty ales, though. I enjoyed several last year. I forgot that paella has seafood in it. Keith doesn't eat seafood, so we ended up skipping the food. It smelled really good, though.
I discovered that there won't be an Austin Maker Faire this year due to lack of corporate sponsorship, which in turn is due to the economy. It's very sad. I was at the first Austin Maker Faire. It was very cool to see the diversity a change in region made in the makers.
Maker Faire looks to impress again this year. If possible, go. |

We had a long discussion about the word "pimp" beforehand, because that is how Andrew initially described Pretty Tony. Closer to the day of the taping, he clarified that Tony didn't want to be called a pimp because he wasn't one. He doesn't sell women. He wears the fancy clothes that you see pimps in the movies wear, so I thought of it more as a pimp "style," like when Andrew wears gangsta-style clothes. After meeting Tony, I think of the style more like a modern-day dandy.
Golden Touch is his business where he uses his persona to draw people to clubs and events. Sort of like the grown-up version of hiring a magician for a kids’ party. Or booth babes for a convention display.
